Do you like going to the high country? Did you go camping when you were a kid? Do you remember the feeling of peace and tranquility? Spending time in nature brings up your vibration increasing your energy as you relax and enjoy. You literally become alive with the energy from nature.

I just spent a day in the mountains with a Reiki student. We were sitting in a stream experiencing the cold, rushing water. It was a delicious treat, to be so totally absorbed and in the moment. It was pure pleasure and joy!

Then my Lightworker friend, a sister Reiki Master said, “How can it get any better?” My first thought was, it could be cooler and it could rain. However, I did not say that out loud, I just thought it. Immediately I gave thanks and expressed appreciation for the moment knowing that I was also saying to the universe, “Make it even better.”

In the moments following, I looked up and the sky darkened, and it started to thunder. The Universe sent an amazing energy as though saying, “I hear you!” I was awed how the Universe responded so quickly. Is that being psychic or just knowing? When you are in a place of peace and joy you just know it is going to happen, you can feel it and it’s because you are worthy! It was so exciting to be in the rain and feel the cool air.

So, look at your life and see how it can get better. You have limitless possibilities for enjoyment, peace and pleasure. Be free, relax and let go of your worries. I give you permission to go on vacation; to have peace and even feel joy. Whether you go to nature or imagine it, it is a beautiful reality!

Do you want to play? As the concerns of our lives increase, the ability to play is impacted. Is it acceptable for adults to play? We often associate pleasure with guilt. I am sure you have heard the phrase, “a guilty pleasure.” Let me assure you, there is no guilt in pleasure. I reiterate, I give you permission to be happy, to be at peace and have pleasure in your life. It is a feeling, a thought and your divine right.

It would please me to assist you, back into the game. So, come on out, let’s play!! Ready, set, go!

This week I was not feeling well and fought the inclination to keep moving. There is always so much to do and I began to be concerned about missed opportunities if I chose to take the time to rest and heal. It did not take long for me to decide on my action. I gave myself permission to take time and allow my body to heal. It seemed as though giving myself permission was a turning point. I immediately felt a weight had been lifted; I relaxed into the thoughts of healing and getting some sleep.

I have been finding out more and more the rewards of allowing my life and the world around me to unfold. It is a habit which, in the beginning, takes some focus and effort however, the rewards are great. When I began to develop this habit I noticed that as soon as I thought of allowing, my shoulders relaxed, then my entire body. It is as though the responsibility of self judgment and judging others disappears and in its place is the knowing that all is as it should be. As I continued to bring allowing into my life I noticed feelings of happiness, love and inner joy sprang into my being as soon as I let go of the negative feelings of self-denial, judging and control.

Permission and allowing are synonymous – closely related in meaning. Often one word is more powerful than the other. For me, in this instance, saying, “This is okay, Angel – you have your permission to stop and heal,” was very powerful.

So, I wanted to relay to you the fantastic rewards of allowing, giving permission, for your life to unfold.

Stress disappears, the body relaxes

An awareness of living in the present moment comes into focus

Emotions switch over to positive; seeing the possibilities takes place

Desires begin to pop into reality

What was my desire? I wanted to let go and allow time for healing. I wanted to feel well, wanted someone to take care of me and wanted some assistance with healing. All of these things came into my reality! I appreciate you all for sending your love and healing.
